Kale, Raab (Kale Rapini) - Certified Organic - USA

Organic Kale Raab (Kale Rapini)

Sweet, Tender Flowering Kale Stems

Organic kale raab, also known as kale rapini, is the delicate flowering shoot of mature kale plants. Harvested just as the plant begins to bolt, these tender stems and small florets offer a mild, slightly sweet flavour with far less bitterness than traditional rapini.

This seasonal specialty is prized for its versatility and elegant appearance — combining the sweetness of broccolini with the depth of kale.
